Wall Street Journal's James Taranto Says Democrats Use Charges of "Racism" as Political Tool - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | April 20, 2010 | Brian

Here is video of the Wall Street Journal's James Taranto on "The O'Reilly Factor" tonight, where he charged Democrats with using accusations of "Racism" against Republicans as a deliberate strategy to keep African-Americans in the Democratic Party.

Taranto contends that Democrats know they must have minority groups in the party to be able to win elections, and keep them in the party by repeatedly accusing opponents of racism. He said Democrats know it is even more important to make the accusations now because America has elected "a black President" in Barack Obama. That makes it harder to make the case America is a racist country. Therefore, they seek to keep alive the idea that the GOP is a racist party.

They are trying to get the black base riled up to help offset the Tea Party. If the blacks had any sense they would join the Tea Party and free their minds and souls from Socialism.

I guess I’m racist, I don’t trust the president because he is white.

“and keep them in the party by repeatedly accusing opponents of racism”

They’ve been doing it for how so many years now I don’t see any “news” in it. Funny thing is, somce keep falling for the BS and don’t realize its only for their vote.

The dimoKKKRATS can take the “race card” and put it where the sun does not shine.

I don’t think all blacks are being fooled.

There are so many African-Americans running for congress this year as Republicans, it must be some sort of modern record. It will be impossible to elect all of them, as there are so many, but hopefully we can elect some. I might start my own “project” here and see how many of them we can get to participate and address the Tea Parties.

My sweetie teaches on the southside of Chicago and his teaching partner is a fifty-something AA woman that is so mad at Obama, she can hardly say his name without swearing.

Things for blacks have gotten so much worse under Obama, it’s almost stunning. I suspect if he pushes amnesty, that could be the nail in his coffin. Teenage unemployment in the inner cities hovers close to 50% and black unemployment among adults is about 30%.

They have been used...again. But this time, it might leave a mark.

You know that is a mute point. All blacks call themselves “black” whether they have white blood or not. In fact, most blacks in the USA are part white. Repeating the same old tired crap about “he’s not black!” is just stupid. It goes nowhere.
